Hi, It's been awhile. This is a design I originally made from cardstock, but I have always wanted an actual working version. I have really been inspired by RobotHut, who has made several versions of all of the drones, some full scale. The challenge for me has been how to achieve the walking...

Now they offer a free little animation. Check this one out: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/tJJEuwPQnShzA8foWbwT?ru=ShadowCory This is one weird creation, lol!

Yeah, I use it like an idea catalyst. It does do some weird things, but a lot a pleasant surprises. :)

Thanks guys!

I trained an ai model exclusively with photos from my builds. The results are fascinating. There's really no debate in my mind, modern ai tools are taking jobs and literally food from artist's moths. This has not changed since I left both a labor job at a mine, and then a semi-skilled position...

Thank you so much. I should apologize to the forum for not posting in such a long time. My health (and mind) really started to take a nosedive around a year or so ago. Probably since around the timeI was trying to fix Twiki's head, lol. Sorry guys.

Well, thank you very much for that! They do backups but their reply was that it would be hard to get just my files from the backup. Oh well. I appreciate it!

Thanks! Mainly the thingiverse items, but I can't find Robbie the Robot! I don't even know if I ever uploaded that one anywhere. All I could save was the dome, lol. Oh well.

I was trying to update model files and move some out and had a backup disk fail and lost a model files. I was just trying to see if I could find some people who had downloaded them. Thanks! Cory

Only behind the camera, lol!

Oh yeah, I guess that would make sense. My brain is farting. https://www.blendernation.com/2023/07/25/movie-vfx-evolution-of-charlie-the-alien-robot/ There are links to the trailer, homepage, and kickstarter campaign embedded in the link.

It's been awhile since I have participated here, sorry for that. I do some lurking, but I had to stop paper modeling so I could handle some effects and props for an upcoming low budget science fiction film. I made a set piece with a controller for a spaceship's bridge, one of the on-screen prop...

Here is how the mini-Twikis turned out.

Ooooookaay. Let's settle down. Lololol! :bulgeeye:

Yeah, same stuff, different brand. I bought this at Hobby Lobby, as they don't carry "Rub-n-Buff" It's named "Deco Art Metallic Luster"

Interesting factoid: That's not silver paint on the helmets in the picture. That's this metallic wax. It looks really, really good on paper, and it's looking good on the plastic as well.

I finally have all of the designs for paper and plastic finished. As far as I can take it, anyway. So now I have to make a build document... Here is what they all look like. Paper, FDM print, and resin print at 100% and 50%:

Thanks for this! I had to make a simpler version to get them to print right at the scales I had. But it gave me a good start!

It's ok. I think I have worked out some shapes that will work.

Excellent turnaround!!!!
